[members at lugog] RS485 device

[mike waterworth]

I have a large Tri-colour LED display. It's two modules, daisy chained
together using two wires, These wires then used to go into a Lantronix
device that worked as a RS485 to RJ45 converter box.
The machine is 2m long by about 60cm. 8 lines by 48 chars. Each char is 7x5
tri colour leds.
I'm ordered a USB to RS485 adapter which should arrive in the next few days.
Getting a message to be shown on the device is the first stage. I have a
Windows application that should be able to talk to it, but I've never got it
to work.
When I turn on the device the LED's show the baud rate and offset of the
displays, so I know they are still functional.
Thanks for any help.
